In our daily lives, we experience diverse, multi-layered, immersive and often illusory narratives. Most of us are fully immersed in them without even realizing it. Our attention moves from one narrative to another fluidly - often without taking a break and without realizing it. They influence us in profound ways and shape our personal mental models and narratives. Specifically, incident narratives are processed by our limited perception and often biased perspectives (due to inexperience) resulting in a limited and personal worldview. This limited and often inappropriate understanding deludes us in subtle as well as profound ways. We spend most of our lives immersed in our own deluded version of worldly illusions.  Blissful breath awareness; appropriate understanding of self and the environment; relationship between self and the environment provides us with much needed sanity and helps us interact and navigate in the world. Importantly, breath awareness imparts an anchoring effect. ...

Breath awareness is the key to self awareness. It is the first step and also a companion in the soul's journey. It is also an essential part of mindfulness which is currently popular. Yet, we hardly are aware of our breath during our daily life. We do not value it, despite it being the foundation of our very existence. We are so engrossed in our daily activities that we are not aware of our breath. This lack of alignment is at the root of all our suffering - be it physical, emotional, and mental. Every seeker begins his/her journey with learning to pay attention to their breath.  Unfortunately, they end up perceiving it as a mechanical process and frequently miss out on the most important nuances involved in breath awareness. As a result, they may get lost and may not get the intended results. Discouraged, they sometimes stop practicing breath awareness altogether. One reason for failure to practice breath awareness and get desired results could be - Seekers may have understoo...

Question diagram template is an explicit structure that facilitates the design of research questions in a secondary data analysis study [1]. It is a structured template that is based on backward design approach [2]. It is usually prepared in a Google document in collaboration with research team members (principal investigator, statistician, data collection team, and data analysis team). As a first step, research team members should brainstorm and identify a few impactful and innovative research questions (based on available data, methodological expertise and real world experience) that they could answer using available data. Identifying a central metaphor related to the research questions facilitates impactful communication of the research results later on. The question diagram makes hypothesized conclusions explicitly clear and specific at the very beginning of the research project. These should then be evaluated by conducting literature search using FINER (feasibility, interesting, n...

Physical body is the outermost, manifest vehicle to facilitate nourishment, digestion (making sense, logic), excretion, sensation,  participation, connection, communication, interaction, experiential learning, course correction (if any) (letting go), and prepare the soul for further steps in evolutionary journey towards the self. Ectoderm ~ outermost layer or external boundary of physical body that comes in contact with others, perceived own territory and the environment.  Territory: physical environment (Home, workplace, school, college etc.), psychological, sense organ, physical body, immediate first degree relatives, friends and pets. Brain control areas for ectoderm: pre motor sensory, sensory, post sensory areas of cerebral cortex A. Organs a. Passage of nourishment (pathway and storage) Gross (Food) - stomach, pancreatic ducts, bile duct. Gross (Earth element digestive fire storage - Bile): gall bladder Subtle (Oxygen, Glucose) - coronary arteries  Subtle ...

We all have natural urges, needs (personal, familial, social), and desires. Lets begin by understanding what they mean and how they are different from each other. a. Need: essential for survival and functioning. Non-fulfilment may lead to imbalance, illness and death. Needs are objective and universal in nature. For example: Air, water, food, and shelter [Refer Maslow's hierarchy of needs for more details]. b. Desire: A strong wish that is optional. It usually enhances quality of life and provides a sense of satisfaction. Non-fulfillment may result in disappointment but is not harmful or fatal. A desire is subjective and personal in nature. For example: luxury car, expensive clothing etc. c. Urge: a sudden strong impulse to act triggered by circumstances, environment, habits, and patterns.  It is often transient in nature and independent of desire. Needs, desires, and urges are diverse and an individual is usually not equipped to achieve all of them on his/her own. Interdependence ...

While maintaining self awareness, if the soul settled in its knower state knows the environment, others and unfolding events as they are then this process does not have any impact on the mind, body and spirit. This is the ideal way of living and does not require any energy (Case1). Inability to observe and know a triggering event as it is (while maintaining self awareness) might result in conflict, evoke a memory/feeling or provoke the ego. The mind gets involved to facilitate processing and meaning making of the event using existing mental models. This cognitive processing is energy intensive. These mental models are influenced by evolutionary state of the soul, physical state of the individual, emotional state of the individual, mental state of the individual, prior experiences, beliefs, environment, and prevailing circumstances. After processing, the mental model might provide gross feedback to the individual that the event is favorable or unfavorable. Directly believing in this men...

From a subtle perspective, life is all about questions and answers. The delay between a question and answer can last an entire lifetime, multiple births or it could be trivial. Answers should arise from real world experiential learning. The truth cannot be borrowed. It has to be experienced to be able to appreciate and internalize it. This leads to the development of self-confidence, self-conviction. Being equipped in this manner for the future journey, the individual is propelled in the right direction.  A gap/delay between questions and answers has unintended consequences. Multiple factors influence this gap/delay. They include evolutionary state (understanding and awareness) of the soul, past experiential learning, attitude, self-motivation, acceptance, availability of a spiritual master, environment and prevailing circumstances. A demand supply gap perceived during this delay results in stress perception. This stress in the delay is the root of all suffering. Inability to remai...

Perception: Perception is the process of becoming aware of something through senses. For example: information taken in by senses from the environment (situation or circumstance or event or person or things or ourselves). Color of a car perceived by eyes, fragrance of a perfume perceived by the nose, taste of chocolate perceived by tongue, music perceived by the ears, a tickling sensation perceived by the skin. Perspective: Stepping back and viewing the situation or circumstance from different angles (for example, past memory, past experiences, feelings, other people's experiences). Judgement: This (perception) information is then evaluated and interpreted by the mind to arrive at a sensible decision or opinion or conclusion. This process after perception is called judgement.  Biased perception: A situation or event or person or things or ourselves are evaluated through a subjective lens influenced by past experiences, assumptions, preconceived, notions and pre-existing beliefs. It ...
